Anyone blow out their speakers?

TamZ · 02-17-2010, 11:47 AM

This thread makes me wonder what # I listen to mine on (in 5 months, I never realized there WAS a number LOL!) I know I listen to my music way too loud since I don't have to worry about having the kids in this car

Anxious to find out what "my #" is.

Led Zeppelin at 12 was loud enough for me

Bad smell = the former on your voice coils being fried. Smell like sulfur or burning, rotten eggs?

It could have smelt like this, I didn't pay too much attention to the type of smell because I was focused on how bad it smelt.

If it smelled that bad, it probably was the speaker. Your amp should be fine. Just replace the speakers (if you go aftermarket, be sure to get the same impedance load) and you'll be good to go!

Okay...I think I must be way denser than I thought I was. I don't see any numbers, just a line of bars that increase as I turn the volume up. Am I losing it??

P.S. I feel like whenever I post, I'm a thread killer LOL!

we're talking about the stereo on a base 370 hehe. the volume is measured in numbers.

Ahh..well...then ya, I guess dense would be the word for me.

I didn't realize that. I spent at least a minute spinning the volume control up and down, searching for the numbers. LOL!

Now, I know!

So everyone does knows that depending on what your source of audio input is, that volumes even at the same setting could be very different. An ipod at 15 volume is going to be much louder than FM radio at the same volume..

Slynky · 02-18-2010, 08:01 PM

Hell, I didn't even know it had numbers on the volume :embarrassed: all I see are little squares getting filled or emptied when I change the volume...

OK, I stand corrected. 18 is perfect volume. Tested with Van Halen.

12 is the perfect volume for me---for listening to Rush Limbaugh. He pushes the speakers to their limit even at that number!

I'm assuming the bad smell was burning silicon of the power amplifier. Do you guys think this would be covered under warranty?

How old are you? I'm guessing under 20, if not then how mature are you? i'm guessing not very. Throw out that rap crap.

So the lower the volume the more mature and older we are? OP did not even mention listening to rap
